Acupuncture needles are incredibly thin—about the width of a single strand of human hair—they do not pierce the skin the way a thick medical syringe does.

When the needles are gently inserted, you might feel a tiny, fleeting pinch, followed by sensations like: mild or heavy dull ache, gentle tingling or warmth, brief sensations of pressure or traveling energy.

We specialize in targeted, holistic care for complex health conditions. From women's health and fertility to autoimmune challenges, nervous system regulation, stress, digestive issues and pain management, we look beyond the surface to the root cause. We are here to work alongside your existing medical care to help you resolve your symptoms, alleviate suffering, and completely reclaim your vitality.

We design a plan, not a guess.

The number of acupuncture sessions you need depends entirely on your specific health goals, how long you have had the condition, and your body's unique response to treatment.

Generally, acute Issues (recent injuries, sudden pain, cough or cold) may only require 4 to 6 sessions, with noticeable relief after the first 1–2 visits. While chronic Issues (conditions you've had for months or years) take time to untangle. Expect an initial plan of 10 to 12 sessions, with re-evaluations along the way to measure progress.

Acupuncture is generally considered a safe practice when performed by a licensed professional. It relaxes muscles and people should not exercise immediately after.

Common side effects include: minor bruising or bleeding at the area of insertion, slight tenderness or muscle pinch at the needle insertion sites, mild lightheadedness, fatigue/heavy relaxation, and emotional releases‍.

Herbs are powerful on their own, but they work even better in combination with acupuncture.

To maximize your results, your acupuncture treatment includes a personalized herbal recommendation. Please note that the cost of herbs is invoiced separately and is not included in the standard consultation fee. Herbal formulas typically range from $50 to $75 per week.

Wear loose comfortable clothing that can be rolled up above the elbows and knees. Avoid tight clothing, one-piece outfits, and heavy jewelry.

We often need to access points on your lower legs, forearms, abdomen, and back, your clothing should allow for quick and easy access without restricting your circulation.

No, herbs can not replace your pharmaceutical medications, peptides, or hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

While Chinese herbal medicine is incredibly powerful adjunctive therapy for supporting the body's natural regulatory systems, pharmaceuticals and bio-identical therapies perform entirely different biochemical functions.

Herbal supplements are categorized as dietary supplements under federal law. They are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition or disease.

At Omni Acupuncture, our policy is to work in harmony with your Western medical team. Any adjustment, reduction, or elimination of your prescription medications must be managed directly by the physician who prescribed them to you.

No, dry needling and acupuncture are not the same thing. While both techniques use thin, one-time-use, stainless-steel needles, they are based on completely different clinical goals, training models, and philosophies.

Acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and requires licensed practitioners to complete over 3,000 hours of training. It focuses on balancing the entire body's nervous system, organs, and internal energy flow (Qi). In contrast, dry needling is a localized, Western medical approach. It specifically targets muscular trigger points to relieve isolated tension and spasms, rather than treating the body as an interconnected system.
